Social Sharing

This is a particularly interesting topic because everything these days seems to be leaning towards social sharing. Everyone is familiar with Facebook, but have they heard of Facebook connect? It basically is centralizing social networking so that you can log into other websites by using your Facebook account to log in instead of having to create an account with that website.

We are really starting to see social networking in many aspects of technology. Another big example is the iPhone and iTunes. Itunes has recently released their latest version containing a feature called "Ping" where you can share what you are listening to and so on. Also Apple also recently released game center which basically allows networking between different phones running the same app. It will be interesting to watch this in the future.
